One more thing ,
Look at it from a potential buyer or Kit builder that is interested in a
Kitfox and they read the mixed opinions of everyone it could in fact deter
some buyers away.
I personally think that the Kitfox is the best Kitplane on the used market
for value as well as the Kits Stitched or not stitched.
I appreciate the conerns of guys who fly 20 hours a year but hey we all got
a great plane regardless.
I have been around Kitfoxes/Avids/ Clones since the late 80s , maybe not on
this list for too long but i guarantee that my 17 year in these plane
alone give me a feel if what works and what does not.;
No BS from me , just the facts and if i offend anyone I am truly sorry. I
posted videos to try to help a few other like Guy who was taking 700 to
1000' to take off and I get alot of private emails from guys thnaking me and
asking for more. I will do more hopefully this winter.
I was out today in 7 inches of snow with the King fox Tires _ I Think
the skis will be back on tomorrow.

No offense taken... I think the question was to rib lace or not to rib
lace.. not if one should buy an aircraft that was not rib laced... You are
correct there are many, many Kitfox's that are not rib laced and the fact is
(correct me if I'm wrong.. I'm sure someone will) Denny and early on SkyStar
said that rib lacing was not required. Later, SkyStar recommended rib
lacing and Kitfox aircraft recommends rib lacing.
One thing that is often overlooked is the evolution of the Kitfox in such
discussions. The Kitfox has gone from 850 lb gross, 70 mph speeds and Vne's
of 90, to an aircraft that has a USEFUL load of almost the original gross
weights and Vne speeds of 140 mph operating turbo engines and 140 hp
Lycomings.
Skis.... Now that sounds like fun !!! I'm looking forward for the floats in
the spring.
Fly Safe !!
